"You... You two?"
"As you can see, we are dating, and I have planned to marry her. I came to pick her up to get a
marriage certificate today. So you should address her as aunt when you see her later."
Franklin let Emily go, ignoring Emily's blushed face and red ears, and spoke directly to Lucas.
Lucas' face turned pale. He staggered back two steps and almost fell down.
He had doubted that before, but he never expected it to be true.
"How is that possible, uncle? How can you like..."
"How is that impossible? By the way, why are you here? Shouldn't you be working? No wonder the
Wright Group remains on a downswing. You and your father had better write a report to explain why. If
you are not qualified for this job, I don't mind making you stay at home." Franklin scolded.
Lucas' face turned white. He quickly bent down, apologized to Franklin, got in the car, and left.
Emily regained her senses and quickly reached out to wipe her lips. She looked around again.
Fortunately, no one was watching.
"Why are you here?" Emily asked in surprise.
Franklin scolded, "If I didn't come, do you plan to get back with him?"
"Of course not. I kept rejecting him just now." Emily immediately raised her hand and swore.
Franklin curled his lips, reached out, and caressed her hair, "You lovely idiot."
If he hadn't seen Emily firmly rejecting Lucas, Lucas wouldn't have been safe and left like that, and
Emily wouldn't have been standing up and talking to him.
Emily hurriedly smoothed her messy hair. This man was so annoying.
He either stroked her hair or pinched her face. Did he have a fetish or something?
"You haven't told me why you're here?"
"Didn't I tell you last night? To apply for the marriage certificate." Franklin answered.
"What?" Emily was surprised, "Are you serious?"
"Why not? Are you trying to go back on your word?" Franklin titled his head and looked at her coldly.
His eyes seemed to warn her that if she dared to go back on her word, he would make things difficult
for her definitely.
Emily immediately shook her head, "No, I am not. It's just... I am not prepared at all."
"Just get your ID card ready." Franklin snorted coldly.
Emily immediately opened her purse and took out her ID card.
"I always have my ID card with me."
"That's good. Let's go to the registry!" Franklin snatched the ID card from her hand and glanced at it.
He curled his lips and thought, "The photo on the card was so ugly."
"But have you really made up your mind?" Emily asked him again after getting in the car.
Franklin turned to look at her and sneered, "I have made the decision, but have you?"
Emily didn't know how to respond. It was not that she couldn't make up her mind. She just wasn't Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org
prepared.
Seeing being quiet, Franklin thought his guess was right. His face turned grim. He said coldly, "If you
really don't want to marry me, I won't force you. Jason, stop the car and send her back."
"No, I didn't mean that," Emily said anxiously.
Franklin looked at her coldly.
Emily pursed her lips and said, "I just thought it was too sudden and we got married for no reason.
Besides... my mom has never seen you. I am just feeling scared."
"After getting the marriage certificate, I'll go with you to the hospital to visit your mother." Franklin
softened his tone when he heard her say that.
He reached out, took her into his arms, and put her head on his shoulder.
Emily shook. The aura of Franklin was so strong. A month ago, they were complete strangers from
different worlds, but now, they were getting married. Life is really interesting.
Things were hard to predict. It was only now that she understood the meaning of this sentence.
An hour later, the two of them came out of the Marriage Registry.
Emily caressed the marriage certificate and still felt unreal. In the photo, they were leaning together and
smiling. At first glance, they looked quite suited for each other.
"Well, it's a good picture, much better than the one on your ID card," Franklin said with satisfaction.
As he spoke, he took the marriage certificate from Emily and put it in his pocket.
"Hey, that's mine," said Emily.
Franklin said, "It's mine now. I'll keep it so you won't get it lost."
"How will I lose it? I need this to get the birth certificate."
"I'll get someone to do it for you. Now we should go to the hospital to visit your mother. Then I'll send
you to work. Pack up anything you need after work so Jason can take them home in the evening."
"Home? Whose home?" Emily was confused.
"Of course ours. You've married me. Do you still want us to live separately?" Franklin said unhappily.
Emily was embarrassed. She really didn't think about it. She didn't expect she would live under the roof
with Franklin.
"You have never thought about living with me after we get married, have you?" Franklin asked, his eyes
narrowed.
Emily quickly shook her head, "How is that possible? Of course, I have thought about it."
If she admitted it, Franklin would really get mad at her.
"Good." Franklin curled his lips in satisfaction and pinched her cheeks again.
It hurt. No, she had to discuss it with him in the future. She had to tell him to get rid of this bad habit.
Otherwise, if he went on like this, her cheek would get hurt.
Abigail had just finished the porridge. When she was about to sleep, Emily pushed the door open and
came in.
When she saw Emily coming, Abigail immediately smiled with joy.
"Emily, you're here."
"Mom." Emily walked over and held her mother's hand.
Abigail asked her daughter to help her up. After lying in the hospital bed for more than ten years, she
could no longer control her limbs as she had in the past. Now, like a child, she needed to learn
everything.
"Why didn't you go to work today and come to see me?" Abigail asked with concern.
Emily looked at Franklin and said shyly to Abigail, "Mom, I am here to introduce someone to you."
Abigail immediately understood what Emily meant and could not help but look at Franklin a few more
times. She found that the young man was really good-looking, but looked a little cold and difficult to get
along well with. And he exuded an air of power from his face, which made him look remarkable. He
made her think... of that person.
"Hello, mom. I'm Franklin." Franklin greeted with a smile.
Abigail was stunned and looked at Emily instantly.
Emily glared at Franklin. Why was he doing that? Calling her 'mom' at first sight? Did he want to scare
her mother to death?
"Well, I'm married to him..." Emily explained awkwardly.
Abigail's face changed and she looked at Emily with a frown. She wanted to say something but
hesitated.
After a while, she whispered to Emily, "Emily, ask...ask Mr. Brent to go out for a second. I want to talk to
you alone."
